LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — A man from Mississippi County is celebrating after winning big in the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery.

According to the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery (ASL), Robert C. claimed his prize of $200,000 from a $10 Psychedelic Payout scratch-off ticket at the ASL Claim Center on Tuesday.

Reports show that Robert bought the winning ticket at K & M Food Mart in Bassett, a small town with a population of 200.

He was at home scratching his tickets when he realized his good fortune.

“It was cool, a town so small, you wouldn’t think a big ticket would be there. I thought I only won $20 at first and was excited to see more zeros following the initial 20,” he said, as he recalled his first reaction of disbelief and excitement.
